The Chinese market – a huge consumption potential waiting to be unleashed
The key takeaway from China’s recent major official conferences is growth. Growth will be the focus of China’s economic agenda for 2023. Among many measures that the Chinese government is about to take, a significant focus has been placed on consumption. As an increasing number of Chinese people aspire to a better life, the Chinese government has let consumption take a leading role in China’s economic growth.
What are the future drivers of China’s consumption growth?
- “Consumption upgrade” trend, towards wellness, digital technology and local brands.
- A stronger and larger middle class. No other country has seen such an annual expansion in its middle class as China.
- High savings to be translated into big consumption potential. Instead of “live in the moment”, what most Chinese people do, wealthy or not, is “save for tomorrow”.
- Re-opening, which could boost Chinese’ willingness to consume thanks to the recovery of physical interactions and income expectations.
Investment opportunities driven by huge consumption potential exist in both growth and mature sectors. Housing improvements, new energy cars and elderly services represent the future emphasis as they correspond to the long-term challenges that China face in its economic transition. Opportunities can also be found in mature consumption sectors where competition landscapes have improved with leaders able to consolidate market shares and increase margins.
